“Original, entertaining and thought provoking. Deserves to be seen.”  –  Deb Meyer, J-Wire

Having been performed overseas, Atomic, The New Rock Musical comes to Coffs Harbour in a NSW premiere from November 3 – 26  at the Jetty Memorial Theatre.  Produced by Coffs Harbour Musical Comedy Company and directed by Coffs Harbour local Rebecca Riches and assistant director, Tahlia Stagg.  The show tells the story of physicist Leo Szilard, focussing on Szilard’s work on the Manhattan Project and his attempt to stop the atomic bomb from being used on a city full of people.

Atomic is comprised of a brilliant ensemble cast depicting real physicists, military personnel, doctors, and civilians working together in secret to create the world’s most dangerous weapon, the atomic bomb. Ethics, loyalty and love are tested as arguably the world’s greatest scientists struggle to find a way to end the war while maintaining their own humanity. The show promises to be a spectacular feat of lighting, projections, music and movement not to be forgotten, that will leave audiences moved and challenged.
